My flock (all female) isn’t laying yet. They’re all around 15-17 weeks old and currently on Scratch and Peck grower feed which is whole grains and 17% protein content. Can I keep them on this feed indefinitely if I offer oyster shells on the side? I’m looking at the same brand’s layer feed and that one is 16% protein which doesn’t seem like a huge difference, so imagine the only change in the bags would be calcium. I’d like to keep them in something that’s safe to give to younger pullets when I add to the flock so I don’t have to change thins around.
Is there an advantage to feeding layer feed?
